Sasyr

For well over 50 years, the Zingarelli family has dedicated themselves to crafting the finest wines, providing meticulous attention to the vineyards and championing Chianti Classico DOC. Established in 1973 by acclaimed Italian film producer Italo Zingarelli, Rocca delle Macìe totals 600 hectares (1,500 acres) across six estates in Tuscany. Led today by Italo's son Sergio, his wife Daniela and two children, Rocca delle Macìe is one of Tuscany's leading wine estates. Sasyr, as its name suggests, is a singular and sublime blend of Sangiovese and Syrah grapes from the Tuscan vineyards of Rocca delle Macìe.

Produced with carefully selected grapes harvested at an excellent state of ripeness in the Maremma vineyards.

A controlled temperature fermentation allows the intense color and primary aromas to be preserved. A small part of the Sangiovese (around 15%) is aged in small oak barrels for around 6 months.

Ruby red. The nose is intense and broad with fruity aromas of blackberry, raspberry and cherry. The palate is soft with good structure. It has a pleasant freshness and good aromatic persistence.
